Getting ready for work

Sticky non-woven wallpaper by yourself is much easier to perform than, for example, finishing with paper wallpaper. This is due to the fact that the structure of the paintings with such a core has thickenings. Due to this, careful roughing with labor-intensive walls is not necessary - small irregularities will disappear due to the density of the decorative coating. But still there are several organizational moments that need to be puzzled before the repair begins. We will dwell on them in more detail.

Tools

Even before you glue the non-woven wallpaper yourself, you need to prepare a complete set of tools. That nothing, from what you may need, do not forget, adhere to the following list:

• Roulette - the minimum length should be 5 m;
• Building level - it is possible to use both liquid and more modern laser variant;
• Roller, with a long pile on the roller.
• Grid for cleaning it.
• Spatulas - will be required as narrow on a metal base, and wide of plastic.
• Brush, plummet, pointed knife.
• Foam sponge, pencil, ruler.
• Buckets or suitable containers for preparing glue and for clean water.

We prepare the walls

As we have already mentioned, thorough walling work is not necessary for gluing flizeline wallpaper by oneself. It is only necessary: ​​

• to remove the old decorative coating;
• clean the dust and remove the main garbage.

Important! If you decide to do everything thoroughly and wash the walls, wait until the substrate dries.

And here's the next stage of preparation - markup, it's better not to miss. Here you will facilitate your further work. Step by step you act like this:

• Check the height of the surfaces in different planes and on one wall. This is necessary in order to then accurately cut the wallpaper of the desired length and prevent the formation of unaesthetic gaps.
• Next, make vertical markings on the entire surface of the walls with a pencil, plumb line and ruler. In this case, you stand one step - either equivalent to 1 meter, or the width of the coverage you have chosen.

Important! This markup will be used when gluing fliseline wallpaper by yourself. So you spend less time adjusting the position of individual strips of material and their docking.

We prepare the wallpaper:

1. We lay out the roll with an even strip on a horizontal surface.
2. We measure the required length, which should be equal to the height of the walls plus a gap of 5-10 cm.
3. Roll and cut the pieces from the roll on only one side.
4. We get as a result the number of stripes of non-woven wallpaper, which is necessary for pasting the entire area of ​​the walls of your room.

Important! Cutting is done extremely accurately and accurately, especially if you took a material with a complex large pattern. The picture as a result on the walls should turn out to be whole.

Choosing a good adhesive
